This was a quiet place. Normally, no disciples would come here to train. There were a few small wooden houses in the middle of the bamboo forest, all for the servants to live in.
A gentle breeze blew, swaying the entire bamboo forest. The green bamboo leaves made a rustling sound, and the fresh air blew against one's face.
Li Xiaoman's white robe fluttered in the wind, making her look elegant and out of this world. Her hair was black and thick, her skin was like jade, and her eyes were like water. She stared at Ye Fan and said, "You are a mortal, the 'Origin' is useless in your hands."
"Even though I am just a mortal, I know the value of this thing. You are all cultivators, and you all value it so much, how could you say that it is useless to me?" Ye Fan weighed the 'Origin' in his hand and smiled, "It contains a large amount of life essence. I think for a mortal, it shouldn't be a problem to extend their lifespan."
"You … a mortal using the 'Origin' to extend their lifespan, what a waste!" The young men and women next to him all showed a look of displeasure.
"If you want to increase your lifespan and strengthen your body, there are actually many ways. You can use this' Origin 'to trade for some Hundred Herbs Liquid."
"That's right, if you are willing to give up this' Origin ', we will definitely satisfy you."
The young men and women all said this. This' Origin 'was too tempting for them, and they all wanted to trade for it.
"I'm sorry, I don't want to trade. I'm not interested in what you are talking about." Ye Fan, no matter what, would not trade the 'Origin', so he directly refused.
The young men and women all changed their expressions. To them, the 'Origin' was extremely important. For it to be in the hands of a mortal was like a pearl covered in dust. It was truly a waste, so they all wanted to take it for themselves.
Li Xiaoman stood there quietly, her white robe fluttering in the wind, "You don't know what it means for a mortal to have an 'Origin'. It is not wealth, it will only bring you disaster. You are only a mortal, you cannot keep it."
"Are you trying to steal it from me?" Ye Fan put away the 'Origin' and looked at the people in front of him.
Other than Li Xiaoman who looked indifferent, the others all looked unfriendly, staring at Ye Fan without blinking.
"Earlier, the Purple Yang Paradise's second-ranked expert did not use his aura to suppress us. Could it be that you want to snatch it forcefully?"
Li Xiaoman's voice did not waver in the slightest. She said, "It's no secret that you have an 'Origin'. Once the news gets out, even if you're safe for now, it's hard to say whether you'll be safe in the future."
"Are you saying that I can only choose to exchange?"
Li Xiaoman nodded and said, "If you exchange it with a cultivator, you'll be able to benefit from it for the rest of your life. You won't have to run around anymore, and you can be a wealthy man with peace of mind, living a life of luxury and splendor."
"You guys aren't very strong. I'm afraid the life essence contained in this' Origin 'isn't something you can refine."
Seeing that Ye Fan seemed to have loosened his stance, the people around him spoke up one after another.
"Even though we can't refine it directly, we can hand it over to the elders in the sect."
"Just now, that senior's cultivation is profound and is the second-ranked expert of our Purple Yang Paradise. He once helped Junior Sister Li recover her youth. Today, if Junior Sister Li can hand over this' Origin 'to him, you will definitely be appreciated. We can also get close to that senior and listen to his teachings."
Ye Fan smiled and did not say anything. He looked at Li Xiaoman.
"That's right. I do want to give this' Origin 'to that senior." Li Xiaoman's expression was calm. She gently combed the hair in front of her forehead and looked quietly at Ye Fan. She said, "I won't owe you anything. I will make you satisfied."
Ye Fan shook his head and smiled calmly. He said, "Just like you in the past …"
Li Xiaoman did not refute. She took a few steps forward and stared at Ye Fan. She said, "I know you are very confident and have the ability. You are not satisfied with being a mortal, but the truth is like this. Your constitution cannot cultivate and you can only be an ordinary person. I hope you can be at ease and be an ordinary person. Don't think too much. Be clear-headed and let go of those unrealistic fantasies. This' Origin 'is really useless to you. Accepting reality and being an ordinary person is not necessarily a type of happiness. "
"It seems that we don't really understand each other." Ye Fan did not say anything else.
"People always strive to improve …" Li Xiaoman paused slightly. She said, "The immortal and the ordinary are two different worlds."
"The immortal and the ordinary are two different worlds?" Ye Fan smiled and said indifferently, "Who knows what will happen in the future. Maybe I will also appear on your path. At that time, don't be careless and let an ordinary person like me surpass you."
On the side, the young disciples of Purple Yang Paradise revealed strange expressions. They felt that the conversation between these two people was a bit special. They were not as simple as neighbors. Especially Ye Fan, he did not seem like an eleven or twelve year old child at all.
"No matter what, I will not give up this' Origin '. Please go back." Ye Fan extended his hand and made a gesture to send them off.
"You …"
The expressions of the Purple Yang Paradise disciples did not look good. Before Li Xiaoman turned to leave, she looked at Ye Fan and said, "Accept reality quickly and be an ordinary person."
Suddenly, there was chaos outside Purple Yang Paradise. There were shouts and cries. Then, a scarlet light streaked across the sky. There were cultivators fighting in the distance.
"Let's go and take a look!" A few young disciples rushed out from the bamboo forest.
Ye Fan's heart skipped a beat. Someone was crashing the mountain gate. He immediately thought of the Jiang Family's knight. He decided to hide in the crowd and take a look so that he could be prepared.
At this moment, there was chaos in Purple Yang Paradise. Many cultivators rushed towards the mountain gate. When Ye Fan arrived, he discovered that there were already several people who were heavily injured and had to be carried back.
"Who is so bold to sneak into my Purple Yang Paradise and fight after being discovered?"
"It is a powerful knight riding on a terrifying mutated beast. He defeated five experts of our Purple Yang Paradise and almost broke out of the encirclement. Now, he is stopped by our Martial Granduncle."
…
Hearing the discussions of the crowd, Ye Fan was almost certain that the Jiang Family's knight had found his way here.
"What a lingering ghost!" This made him frown.
Just at this moment, there was a cheer in front. Someone shouted, "Martial Granduncle is indeed powerful. He captured that terrifying knight."
A thirty-six or thirty-seven year old middle-aged man walked through the void, calmly walking back. He was the second expert of Purple Yang Paradise. Ye Fan had seen him not long ago. At this moment, he was carrying a savage beast and an unconscious knight back. He threw them heavily on the ground and said, "Lock him up in the stone prison first."
"It is time to leave. Purple Yang Paradise has helped me greatly. It is best to lock up this hot potato for a few more days …" Ye Fan could imagine that when the people of Purple Yang Paradise learned of the knight's identity, it would be too late for regrets.
Ye Fan walked out of Purple Yang Paradise's mountain gate and quickly rushed out of the mountains. However, at this moment, a few people noticed his departure. They looked at each other and chased after him.
"If I can avoid this calamity, I need to find a quiet place to properly cultivate!" Ye Fan had encountered a series of events and was eager to become stronger. He desired unparalleled power.
After running for dozens of miles, Ye Fan gradually felt that something was wrong. Someone was following him at a speed no slower than his and was about to catch up. His heart trembling, he charged into a forest of rubble and hid behind a boulder, sizing up the area behind him.
"It's him …"
The person was about twenty-six or twenty-seven years old. He was one of Li Xiaoman's senior brothers. Not long ago, he was still thinking about his "Source." He was very fast and entered the stone forest in the blink of an eye.
"I see you. Come out. Leave your Source behind and I will give you a way out. "
"As expected, he wants to steal my Source …" Ye Fan hid behind the huge rock and did not move recklessly. This person was not weak. Otherwise, he would not have been able to catch up to him.
"Even if he obtains the Source, he will definitely not let me go. In that case, I might as well strike first!" Ye Fan made a decision.
"If you don't come out and I find out, don't blame me for not giving you a way out." This person was very cautious. He felt that Ye Fan's speed was too fast and almost got rid of him. As a mortal, this was clearly not normal.
When this person turned near the huge boulder, a golden light suddenly rushed up and cut through the void in an instant. With a "shua" sound, it spun and slashed past.
"Pu!"
Blood splattered and a head rolled down. The headless corpse's blood sprayed more than two meters high. Then, it fell to the ground with a "plop".
Ye Fan kept the golden book. At this moment, his expression changed. A few figures appeared behind him and were quickly approaching. He hurriedly glanced at them and then flew away. He did not know if Li Xiaoman was among them. The mountains were lush with vegetation and it was difficult to see clearly.
"I hope you are not behind me …" Ye Fan did not look back and left.
